You can find his answer to the first ten question on GameDaily: http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/features/10-questions-lionheads-peter-mol.......

  • Your own unique hero

    As you know everyone starts in Fable II as either a little boy or a little girl and will grow up to adulthood.   You will change visually to reflect your choices and actions in the world of Albion but it doesn't end there...we now have so much...

  • Some picture moments from PAX

    Like I said earlier, my cardreader wouldn't work for some reason under Windows Vista (for some reason only known to hobbes). You would have gotten these live from the show had it worked...but now without further delay some of the picture moments. FIRST...

    Yesterday (or was it this morning) we went to the last day at PAX 2008, suitcases packed and left in the car ('Cousin' Erik was driving us around). It was again a busy day, people lining up to play the combat demo level set in Wraithmarsh. On...

  • Nearly done.

    Scary stuff; today is the last day for Woody and myself at PAX and tonight straight after the show we're flying back to old London, England. I'm overhearing at the show that people think Fable II is 'tight', which is a thing. A lot of people have...

  • Ghost town?

    This is crazy! Upon our arrival in Redmond, Woody thought we'd arrived in Disney World or some other random theme park. Turns out that Redmond Town Centre, is a (giant) shopping mall! There's not a lot to do here but people tell us Seattle (where PAX...

    Some people might call me a community manager, but there's more to the job, one of them 'video'. Filming is my favourite part of it, as well as editing (but Andy tells me I'm not that at it, he's better). Capturing game footage is more difficult but...
